They were all blaming Congress and supporting the rioters. They then turned their attacks on me and Biden. Fuck it. From lifelong Republican, Steve Schmidt, in light of today's undemocratic and baseless protest by Congressional Republicans: "The die is cast for the Republican Party. It will be destroyed on January 6th in much the same way the Whig party was destroyed by the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Act in 1854. The act unraveled the Missouri compromise and allowed for the westward expansion of slavery. The party could not survive its factionalism. There could be no more accommodation, compromise and partnership between pro-slavery and anti-slavery Whigs. A new political party was born, the Republican Party. That party will divide into irreconcilable factions on January 6th. The 6th will commence a political civil war inside the GOP. The autocratic side will roll over the pro-democracy remnant of the GOP like the Wehrmacht did the Belgian Army in 1940. The ‘22 GOP primary season will be a blood letting. The 6th will be a loyalty test. The purge will follow. Does anybody doubt the outcome of the Ivanka Trump vs. Marco Rubio primary in Florida? Anyone willing to make a bet on Rob Portman? It turns out JFK was right. The problem of trying to ride the tiger is the likelihood of winding up inside the tiger. The poisonous fruit from four years of collaboration and complicity with Trumps insanity, illiberalism and incompetence are ready for harvest. It will kill the GOP because it’s Pro Democracy faction and Autocratic factions can no more exist together then could the Whig Party hold together the abolitionist with the Slave master. It won’t happen over night but the destination is clear. The Conservative party in America is dead. It may continue to bear the name “Republican” but it will be no such thing. Fascism has indeed come to America and as was once predicted it is wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross. This movement must be defeated. It cannot be appeased, accommodated or negotiated with. It must be recognized for what it is and we must all recognize the new age of American politics it has wrought. It has reset the debate entirely. There are only two sides in American politics now. There is the American side and the Autocratic side. May God help us all if we falter, flag or fail in defense of American democracy." I can’t say I disagree with the guy.

I need someone to tell me how he's wrong because I don't see it. True conservatives know its going down too, the GOP Civil War officially started yesterday. I was disappointed but not surprised 6 Senators voted to throw out AZ votes last night. I was even more disgusted when Hawley objected to PA and a 7th Senator joined in objection. Neither surprised me. Most disgusting of all is that over half the GOP members of the house, 122 of them, voted to throw out votes. I dont see how we come back from this other than to snuff out this fascist movement within our borders. My great grandfather who fought in WW2 would roll over in his grave if he knew what we have become. IsntLifeFunny, Mythos27, and tgo 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday was the day that the fascists said the quiet part out loud. The de-platforming has begun. It's not just a war between the Republicans -- it's going to be a war between civil society and half the Republicans. Y'all-queda is waking up to the unfamiliar smell of consequences.

My congressman, Mark Green, is one of the representatives. I see nothing to indicate he will pay any political price. He will probably be stronger.
